I am currently flying high above the clouds on my way back to MD. But, before I got on the plane airport security stopped me because of a suspicious item in my purse – a banana. 
I can only imagine what they thought it was, but Ben’s random comment of the day is:
Ben: “Miss, I’m sorry but, you can’t use a dildo on the plane, it may distract the pilots…”
This morning we were up bright and early for my friend’s ABC (Annual Breast Cancer) 5K. It was a very small race and I won first place for the women’s division!!! Susan says there is a boob trophy coming my way soon:)

It was pretty chilly this morning so my family was all dancing around waiting for the race to begin.
Ben, my mom, Matt and a few of my cousins came out for the race too. I love that they wanted to be a part of it.
I packed overnight oats for breakfast and ate them on the way home. I’ve been craving overnight oats for a while, but keep forgetting to make them –finally my craving is satisfied.
I also packed lunch for the flight – PB&J, carrots and an apple. I usually pack a ton of snacks for traveling, but this is all I packed today – I hope I don’t get hungry again soon. Oh wait, I just remembered I have grapes – chomp, chomp, chomp.
Overall my trip to California was just what I needed. I got in some great family, pet and running time. I’m always so sad to leave, but we’ll be visiting again soon – at least it’s something to look forward to.
I definitely over did it with the food and drinks on this trip, but I had a good time and was working through some stuff. Now, I am so ready to get back on track with healthy eats! My bag weighed an extra six and a half pounds coming back and I’m pretty sure I do too 🙁
I may start my New Year’s Resolutions tomorrow!
Congrats on first place, Ms. Speedy! And I’m so impressed with all the snacks you remember to pack on the plane – again.
That is so awesome that your family wanted to race as well, for a good cause too!
That’s funny about the banana. I’m not looking forward to my flight on Thursday because I hear security is extra tight everywhere because if the Detroit mess.
Monica thanks for coming out and bringing out the whole familia to the first ABC race and congrats on winning it!!!! Maybe next year we can get Meb out to give you some competition. Ben it was really nice to see you btw rondell really like you, i think he has a man crush.
OMG- I’m cracking up at Ben’s comment!! So did TSA confiscate your banana? Are you on the no-fly list now?
Glad you had fun in CA! You have to post a photo of the boob trophy once you get it.
Lol! I got peanut butter confiscated from my luggage once but not cashew butter. There reasoning was because the jar was too deep.
LOL to the banana – and the comment! I can’t imagine WHAT they thought the banana was!
nice race! haha to boob trophy! funny about security but i’ve heard that theyve gotten really strict recently..moreso than normal. still a banana?! haha
You are too funny, reading your entries always make me laugh!! oh and btw— congrats on the race.
dumb question, but —- how do you make overnight oats?? is this eaten cold? (im an instant oatmeal girl for convenience reasons.. but would love to try something new for breakfast once in a while!!) thanks!
oh.. and i have more than overdone it with food all week.. feel 10 lbs heavier, literally. 🙁 i am hoping my body will be shocked with all the veggies, fruit and whole grains im going to flood it with today and (hopefully) drop a couple of lbs instantly!
I hope you feel nice and refreshed coming home. No worries about the extra lbs–you were celebrating with your family and friends. Now your back on track with that big bulging banana.
Well, at least you can be rest assured that the security people were doing their jobs. Especially after that attempted attack. Great job in your race!
What an awesome trip home 🙂 I love Ben’s comment.
That’s so funny about the banana. Teehee.

Glad you had a good time in CA with your family & pets & friends. I overdid it too this season, but I’m not going to beat myself up since I had a great time & it’s Christmas afterall.
Your posts always make me laugh! Congrat’s on the boob trophy!
